The device does not always explicitly state which property or asset corresponds to which convicted person, but in several cases it does, or allows it to be inferred from the text
SANTO DOMINGO. – The sentence of the First Collegiate Court of the Criminal Chamber of the Court of First Instance of the National District, which condemned twenty natural persons and declared six legal entities guilty of prevarication, embezzlement and fraud against the State up to aggravated money laundering, clearly attributes some of the ownership of the confiscated assets to the convicted.
Sentence No. 249-02-2026-SSEN-00040, file 062-2022-EPEN-00201, designates Juan Carlos Torres Robiou as the holder of checks from JPMorgan Chase Bank deposited in accounts at Banreservas totaling USD$35,790.58, and directly attributes to him a property in Rancho Arriba, San José de Ocoa (registration 0500033291), 50% of which was confiscated upon recognition that the other 50% legitimately belongs to the receiver Felipe de Js. Fernández Isa.
Rafael Núñez de Aza is named in the document as the owner of the S-179 plot in Colinas del Oeste (830.90 m²), the SUB-180 plot (607.70 m²), the gold Toyota Hilux license plate L305304, and the residence at 151 Cordillera Septentrional Street, defined in the document as a mansion with a nightclub, bunker-type bar and gym, whose furniture inventory occupies more than three pages of the ruling.
The court states that the property was acquired and furnished with money obtained through illicit corruption. It is also linked to a Banreservas account (no. 5500004782) with RD$142,725.99, and another with USD$36,078.28.
Julio Camilo de los Santos Viola is the convicted man with the largest number of properties individually identified in the device.
Viola owns at least twenty properties in Santiago and the National District, including land and properties totaling nearly 60,000 m² in the Cibao region alone. These include a 31,806.09 m² plot in Santiago (title certificate 0200142894), apartments in Torre Hariannet IX, apartment D5 in Torre Elsa, and properties in the Nicolás Vargas and Jardines del Licey residential complexes. Apartments in the condominium on República de Colombia Street, Altos de Arroyo Hondo (241.33 m²), were also seized.
Kelman Santana Martínez is the owner of Hacienda Kelman, SRL, one of the companies condemned to dissolution, and the cattle ranch in San Pedro de Macorís is listed in the document as an asset of that legal entity.
CSNA Universo Empresarial, SRL loses two properties identified by their registration numbers (309473484065 and 313127877768, the latter measuring 628.82 m² in Santiago), in addition to its proportional share in the property on Avenida Charles de Gaulle.
Randa Internacional Company, EIRL is the registered owner of property 309437079296 (1,538.69 m²) next to Plaza Randa, as well as the Daihatsu truck with its logo and the Toyota van identified in the ruling.
The Plaza Randa Internacional in its entirety, building and 44 premises, is the central asset of this company.
Esmeralda Ortega Polanco appears as co-owner along with Félix Manuel Duran Calderón of the property with registration number 0100059132 (parcel SUB-147, 405.80 m²) in the National District, which was included in the confiscation.
Epifanio Peña Lebrón appears linked to apartment C-5 of the Lice Carolina 3 Tower, in Bella Vista (registration 0100305342), also associated with the company Único Real State.
Rossy Maybelline Guzmán Sánchez (alias La Pastora) is listed as the owner of apartment 3- of the residential condominium JY J-II (145.00 m²), identified in the list as property that could not be linked to the facts judged, so the court rejected that specific confiscation.
Companies that disappear
Six legal entities were sentenced to definitive closure and dissolution, with their assets incorporated into the State:
- CSNA Business Universe, SRL.
- Randa International Company, EIRL.
- Aldom Glass Aluminium, SRL.
- Kelman Estate, SRL.
- R&F Agroindustrial, SRL.
- Rawel Importers, SRL.
The 538.70 m² plot of land on Cordillera Septentrional Street (parcel SUB-119) was registered to Aldom Glass Aluminium. Vehicles bearing the Randa Internacional logo, including a Daihatsu truck and a Toyota pickup, were also seized.
What the court could not confiscate
The same Thirty-Second ordinal that establishes the mass confiscation has its counterpart: the Thirty-Third and Thirty-Fourth ordinals order the lifting of seizures on assets that the court considered not linked to the facts or whose legitimate ownership was proven.
Among the assets returned or not confiscated are properties belonging to the acquitted Miguel Alfredo
Ventura Pichardo, Eric Daniel Pereyra Núñez, Tanner Antonio Flete Guzmán, Guillermo de Jesús Torres Robiou and the Eternal Life Baptist Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, as well as assets of convicted persons regarding which the prosecution could not prove the illicit origin.
The right of voluntary intervenors, including the legal successors of Angela Reyes, Créditos Guimanfer SRL, Crediviasa SRL and Moto Crédito SA, to recover four specific properties was also recognized.
This report is based on the direct analysis of the operative part of judgment no. 249-02-2026-SSEN-00040, of 89 pages, issued on June 15, 2026. The property counts are the product of the literal reading of the Thirty-Second ordinal and the following ordinals.
All surface area figures correspond to data explicitly stated in the ruling. The full judgment, including the reasoning, will be read on August 14, 2026.
